Previous posts with different options to support you in notetaking, both during lectures and when reading.

  • Tech Tips Blog Post: OneNote – A digital 3-ring binder allowing you to take notes, edit your notes, use Immersive Reader to listen to your notes, add in images and visual content, and more, across all of your courses, throughout your program. 
  • Tech Tips Blog Post: Top 8 Tips for OneNote – Are you a OneNote user and want to learn how to quickly take text and convert it into a bullet or numbered list? How to quickly create a table? How to quickly move rows of information up or down in a table? How to link information from one page to another to quickly navigate through your notebook? Or how to organize your notebook with quick shortcuts?
  • Tech Tips Blog Post: PDF Files in Edge – How to use Edge to read and take notes on PDFs.
  • Tech Tips Blog Post: Voice Dictation – Did you know that the majority of people can speak up to three times faster than they can write?
